AURANGABAD: Former deputy director of education, Aurangabad, Lakshman Dafne said on Sunday said children's education should be informal during the formative years. "This way, students below six years of age will be eased into the education system. It should be ensured that learning does not become burdensome to them in higher classes," he said. Dafne was addressing the second district conference of the Maharashtra Balshikshan Parishad at Garware Community Centre. The one-day seminar was held for teachers and principals.
